| Reverse description | A tall obelisk dominates the composition, surmounted by a crowned globe, with a cartouche bearing the princess's name on its face; a flying putto inscribes the name at upper right. Behind the obelisk, the facade of a grand royal palace, likely the Copenhagen Royal Palace, fills the background with figures and carriages in the courtyard. The scene is viewed over a balustrade in the foreground, with the wind's answer radiating diagonally across the upper field, and the date in Roman numerals in the exergue. |
